That's more of a political and tax decision than anything else.

It would not just be called terrorism, it would be terrorism.

Oh ffs, get the FUD out of here.

It is, just not in the USA. This is the textbook definition of terrorism: "The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." It does not get much clearer than that.

I meant that we are past the point where Trump is in control of himself.

Either way, we won't be talking about it on HN, this got flagged so hard it is on page 4. We don't do politics. By the way, here is some new nonsense built with an LLM.

I hope it will be neither and someone reins in this buffoon.

Fun movie trivia: Maya Rudolph (Rita) is the daughter of Minnie Ripperton.

There are multiple years of archives of presidential tweets and Trump's stand out, and not in a good way.

> If Trump spots a mentally capable person that is also stupid enough to eat his slop (or evil enough), he gets a job. Isn't that a bit like a wooly mammoth? In theory it could exist but in practice you're not going to find any

Sorry, but no. It is the USA. But now without the veneer, this rot was there for a long time, it's just that people no longer feel any need to pretend they're respectable. Other places have similar problems, where I live, in NL, t

You missed the documentary angle. Getting rid of jackass would be a move in the right direction (and all of the jackass derivatives).

Why stop at eugenics? Spoil your environment enough and it will definitely have an effect on the individuals in that environment.

> They all identified with the "idiots" and were indignant insulted, and angry. That is sort of the point of the movie. It is a satire, but it is also a documentary packaged as a satire and the wrapping paper isn't all t

I think mrtnmcc put up that repo as a response to my comment. And you're right there is no way to build it from what's posted.

Take good care of yourself and don't get sucked in too deep. I can see the danger just as clearly in programmers around me (and in myself). I keep a very strict separation between anything that can do AI and my main computer, no cuttin

Having Thiel on board of YC would probably turn off a lot of potentially successful founders. Or maybe it's a way to select for those with a lack of ethics. Having Musk and Thiel visibly associated probably is good from a monetary pers

I can see how that works: this is like building a dependency, a habit if you wish. I think the tighter you couple your workflow to these tools the more dependent you will become and the greater the let-down if and when they fail. And they w

Textbook example of how to respond to your customers, kudos.

Underground data centers are looking better by the day. Deep underground. I can see some uses for abandoned mines.

I don't think you should call something 'open source' until you've released the source, but other than that this is an extremely impressive project. HAM's have been doing EME since forever ( https://en.wik

If there is one term that has lost its value over the last three decades it is 'national security'. That gets trotted out for any number of reasons, the easiest and in my opinion most accurate interpretation is that it stands in f
